That's good. I really didn't enjoy the first season of Boardwalk Empire, but the second was one of the TV highlights of the last year. I think every problem I had with it was remedied. I'm glad I stuck with it.

Haha.... No, seriously, Walking Dead = dumb. The idiots in the show never do anything except proclaim "He can't protect you, only I can protect you" over and over and over. Great line for a drinking game. And no one in the show does a single smart thing: no one gets a safe perimeter set up with 10' fencing and reinforced posts, though they have weeks to do it. No one rounds up a couple of bulldozers with reinforced, enclosed cabins. Though they have weeks to do it. Where are the 4x4 trucks with supplies and ammo? Dumb. They argue over 'who's the daddy', one of the most stale plot devices ever, and so very out of place in a world of zombies, hostile bands of people, and end of the world stuff. Boring!! And when they disagree, they get in fistfights in the middle of the zombies. Dumb! In the finale, they fight zombies in the morning for an hour, jump in TWO cars with empty fuel tanks, then stop on the side of the road to camp so they camp so they can "save gas" and get more in the morning? What?? WTH? It's like 10 am in the morning, and where are they that another gas station isn't like 12 miles away?? And what difference does it make if they wait 18 hours for dawn, they still have the same amount of gas in the fuel tank? Are they "safe" there? Hell, no...lol. But it's a great place for one guy to tell his group he's in charge and is their dictator. Oh god, it's so funny. Yeah, it's a great show, in a MST3K kind of way, Mookie. Sorry The Walking Dead - The Metacontextual Edition Quote:

It's a bit like that. Can't wait for the Winds of Winter myself. Here's hoping he finishes it soon

Game of Thrones: Epic History: The Targaryens: Game of Thrones: Epic History: LANNISTERS: p1/2 Tytos and Tywin: Game of Thrones: Epic History: LANNISTERS. p2/2. Cersei, Jaime, Tyrion & Joffrey Baratheon: That's all she has done so far. |

Wow! Somebody I can agree with! I hate the Walking Dead. I watched it expecting some zombie apocalypse action but they've probably only killed 20 zombies in the whole series. WTH!?! MOAR ZOMBIE KILLING PLZ!

Maybe you watch it first and safe your silly claims for afterwards? Additionally, TWD is not about killing zombies, it is not a splatter series, it is a drama series. |

showed it to be little more than 'The Bold and the Beautiful'. That's just my opinion of course. |

Indeed, Dowly, indeed.
But it is officially a drama series and the point is not smashing heads in. Still, I can't see where RedOctober got the idea from that there is not enough action. Last edited by Nippelspanner; 05-03-13 at 12:18 PM. Reason: Misinterpretation |

I'd just much rather watch Dawn of the Dead, Zombieland or some other zombie movie. I even saw the crappy Syfy Zombie Apocalypse and i thought it was better than TWD.
